Folk

A loving tribute to the great traditions of country blues.

The depth of the lyrics in this EP will no doubt stay with listeners for quite some time.

The crisp energy of the album's expertly performed acoustic arrangements, produced by the great singer-songwriter and all-around instrumentalist Darrell Scott, makes the songs feel both timeless and timely.

Streaming services like Spotify are taking us "back to the future" in a way, reminiscent of the days of free-form radio DJs. Except that today, artists themselves are designing some of these creative, meaningful playlists. Emily West's new Spotify playlist is a prime example.

Plus Gregg Allman, JD Souther, Mick Jones, Indigo Girls and more.

Can you guess how many years this album was in the making?

‘Songs from the (quaking) Heart’ is a three act play with a grand finale.

‘My Love Is Strong’ would fit right into the music collection of those who love original easy listening songs imbibed with folk, Americana, and country flavours.

Chunky grooves, spidery guitar, and homespun philosophy fuel the aptly named 'Hillbilly Zen-Punk Blues,' the latest and best-yet release from Reverend Freakchild.

The eight other tracks on ‘The Lies You Leave Behind’ are what one would expect after last month’s (Elliott Smith-sounding) single release, "He Was a Man".
